Oh I've been playin' this game now
For such a long, long time
And all the friends I won and lost
I know not one who I could say is mine

I've been not to be dismayed
By the troubles I have laid upon my door
I'll just keep right on ramblin'
My past I try pretending to ignore

Oh I found a girl and
She stole my poor heart away
I lied to her just this one time
But I'll regret it until my dying day

Oh, it's hard to believe
I could have deceived her this way
But I'll just keep on walkin', talkin'
Lockin' the past inside my head

If she gave me one more chance
I'd show her that I have changed my way
And we can live together as one
Just like the holy preacher man says

It's not easy to forget
But don't let your heart say I must go away
And keep right on ramblin'
On the road until my dyin' day

Just keep right on ramblin'
Just keep right on ramblin'

Oh, it's hard to believe
How I could have deceived her this way
But I'll just keep on walkin', talkin'
Lockin' the past inside my head
